Hi guys,
I am stuck with the following problem and would be happy to get some ideas.
I want a floating tool frame which always stays above some other frames. The usual approach in wxpython would be to set the FRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style flag. This does not solve the problem, because I want the panel to float above several frames and there can only be one parent.
My current approach is to recreate the tool frame whenever a frame is activated and then reparent the content from the old to to the new tool frame. This leads to flickr and ugly crashes. Is there a better way?
Thanks
Christof
No thats not what I need. STAY_ON_TOP makes windows stay also above
windows of other applications, at least on windows. It should just
stay above the window of my application.
Thanks for the reply.

STAY_ON_TOP ?

Maybe you should take a look at wx.aui or the pure Python variant, wx.agw.aui. There are demos in the wxPython demo for both and they both show an example where there’s a toolbar that you can pull out into a floating toolbar.
